What kind of flavors&scents do you want to see in snuff?

786  @lunecat, NICE!

  1. Whatever recipe Queen Charlotte used for her headaches.  I’ll snuff during a migraine regardless but I have no idea whether it helps or not…That was Queen Charlotte, wasn’t it?  I’m always open to corrections 

  2. Sunday Dinner: the scent of rare roast beef, gravy, Yorkshire pudding and mushy peas (with pepper and malt vinegar)

  3. Steak and Ale Pie with HP Sauce: 'nuff said.

  4. Peanut Butter Pie!  Not peanut butter; it must smell like my great-great Grandma Allen’s peanut butter pie (my family is long-lived so I was blessed to know two of my great-great grandmothers) with English custard or whipped cream (or both!)

  5. There was this German soap company, Kappus or something like that, whose wares were all naturally scented and popular at health food stores in the 'nineties; I would love a snuff that smells like their Wild Fern scented soap

  6. Swedish Bitters

  7. Oudh! (aloes wood) Or maybe one of the traditional Indian combinations of oudh and other aromatics

I like the sound of that @lunecat. I’ve been thinking about planting some blackthorn but didn’t think of using the sloes to scent snuff. I was going to make wine with them.

My experiences with blackthorn have been limited to a rather nasty, lead filled shillelagh disguised to look like a cane or walking stick.  I have had some homemade sloe gin and found it quite tasty.  Blackthorn doesn’t seem to grow around here, but if someone knows where I can get my hands on the sloes I’d be happy to oblige and make a snuff scented in the vicinity of sloe gin.

@slobandtom peanut butter pie sounds excellent! My granny always kept one on hand for my brother, and I when she was still around. Oh what memories… :smiley:

@chefdaniel it looks like they grow it commercially just to the north of you and to the south of me. No idea where to buy them but there should be some close by.

I really want a snuff to smell/taste exactly like Laphroaig 10 whisky. It may already exist in Mull of Oa and i just haven’t tried it yet.

As far as herb scented snuffs go, I would like to try one scented with celery seed.

Just realized, a few years back I was blessed with a sampler of some “artisan” pipe blends from Indonesia, particularly made by some individuals involved with Jakarta’s pipe club. Some most remarkable and unique flavors, using equally remarkable and unique tobaccos. Alas I’m no longer in touch with the contacts I made at the time, as I’d be sorely tempted to get some more, and make snuff. The tobacco was uncased, so easier to mill into something snuffable. Come to think of it, I may try to reconnect with these dudes. Like getting a glimpse of some kind of tobacco utopia through the looking glass, and longing to go there.

The reason for the trouble is that it was always a “bootleg” thing. We’re not supposed to have access, but some guys were able to get some stuff across. Those loopholes may be closed now, I’m not certain.

But I’d love to have snuffs based on some of those Indonesian blends. They’d defy all expectations of what our noses and palates have turned to for pleasure.

@cpmcdill  Those do sound like they would make very fine snuffs.  If you are able to get ahold of any more, please, let us know how they fare as snuff.
